Name list for RuneQuest



Alfred the snake has no business here.


An article at the Gnome Stew advocates the use of name lists to facilitate coming up with good character names that sit well inside a setting, both for GM's naming NPC's and new players generating characters.  I went out looking for some good Celtic, Norse and Germanic names for both boys and girls!  That's over 500 of them!
